Bathroom size is a factor that needs careful consideration especially before installing any kind of bathroom accessory. There are various items fit for your restroom, which could go beyond elegant and luxurious; however, finding the most appropriate ones in terms of functionality and space maximization can be a tedious task. Examples of bathroom accessories that require wise decision-making are towel rods. These fixtures – simple and negligible as they may seem – could bring forth a fashionable statement to any bathroom needing to take full advantage of space. The three most typical towel hangers are swivel towel bars, double towel holders, and standard towel rods.

The most convenient rods are those which can be moved. A swivel arm bar has one end that is wall mountable while the other end remains free, enabling the user to have full control of the rod. With such design, it can be installed near the shower or tub for easy access. These come in varying sizes as well to better serve your needs. You can actually choose between single and double rails – the latter has two rails that can be pivoted on opposite directions, such that one of the rods can be utilized for a shower towel while the other for a sink hand towel. The great advantage of using two rails over a single holder is your ability to install it sandwiched between the shower area and sink so that it can be of double purpose, specifically for bathrooms limited in legroom.

Another type is the double towel rail. This kind is quite similar to the aforementioned bar in the sense that two rods make up the accessory. This is wall mountable too but unlike the previous type, they need to be fixated on the wall. The bars cannot be maneuvered to change the direction they are facing, as upon installation, these are already fixed permanently. Most of these are commonly mounted on the far wall of the shower or tub for effortless usage while bathing. Its style allows for holding two towels at the same time so you can hang another fresh towel as an extra. Dual towel rods are ideal for bathrooms that have a lot of ample space to spare for its intricate but quite bulky design.

Standard towel bars are the most commonly purchased type. The single bar fashion is simple and charming enough to be installed in a teen’s private bathroom. Bathroom space won’t be much of a problem either because these are wall mountable as well. They are similar to double towel holders but the difference is that there is only one rod for holding a single towel.

To any person who does not have in-depth knowledge on the differences of these, it would be best to ask assistance from the personnel of the home improvement store from where these are normally purchased, before finally buying one.
